He stated that the last time he had seen his father was On Saturday, September 19th. " ' " The jury then took a recess to meet this morning at 10 o'clock in the grand Jury room at the court house. Mr. J. B. Moore, a brother, and Mr. J. J. Moore, a son, of the deceased ar rived in Wilmington on last evening's train from Bufgaw and made arrange- Jnontc loct nJcrVit tfk liavfl thft - bodV ... . UKen to $urgaw tms morning on ma 8:40 train. They stated that the deceased left home Monday night to go on a fishing trip with E. L. L.arkins, Esq.. and Mr. E. McN. Moore, Jr., a nephew, both of Burgaw, and Mr. Fitzhugh Lee, of Wa tha. They knew nothing more as to his whereabouts until they learned of his death in Wilmington yesterday. ilr. E. McN. Moore, who was a mem ber of the fishing party,, returned to Burgaw Wednesday night, it Is stated, and Mr. Larkins returned later In the freek. Neither of them were In the city yesterday, but it is understood that they said that they never saw Mr. iloore after Tuesday, when they left iim in Wilmington, presuming that he ould return later. . v Mr. C. R. Topp, of this city, stated last night that he knew .Mr. , Moore ell, having formerly resided at Bur- R. and that he met him in wilming- tai Tuesday morning and shook hands ith him. He was sure tffat he saw Mm go up the Cape Fear river either n that day -or a day later in company ith another man whose identityhe Jid not positively know. He remem bered that later In the day Mr." Lar ns called him up and asked him about w. Moore and tie told him that he saw aim that morning';. He thought noth ing more about the matter And was peatly surprised last night when he learned that his body had been found. Surviving the deceased besides his iU are four children, thes'e being Mrs. Leon Henry, of "Wmnabow, Bruns wick county, and Messrs. J. J. Moore, "drey Moore and Lindsay Moore, all J Burgaw. Surviving also are two jwl brothers, Messrs. J., B.i and M. M. Moore, and two half brothers, Messrs. H. and E. McN. Moore, and Mrs. R. Durham, all of Burgaw. They will cave the sympathy of a host of friends their misfortune. The deceased was 56 years old and as well known in Wilmington, hav e visited here frequently. He was Prosperous farmer and was well bought of by all who knew him. One of the essentjal methods for im proving the condition of prisoners on the county convict camps and in the State penitentiary Is by allowing the inmates to shorten their sentences by good behavior, according to Rev. Geo. W. Crabtree, prison evangelist of the Southern Presbyterian Church, who made an earnest plea for more humane treatment of ' prisoners In an address at immanuel Presbyterian church yes terday morning. Mr. Crabtree preached- at Bethany Presbyterian churqfi at Wrightsboro last night.: .Mr. Crabtree has been in bJs present work for the-- last " seven or eight years. For the last two years he has been working under the auspices of the Southern . Presbyterian Church. He Is a, native of Washington, N. C, but has traveled extensively throughout the country, and is thoroughly acquainted with prison conditions. "My hobby is prisons," he stated simply, in beginning his address, "and the hope of my life is : to bring about regenerative influ ences in our prisons not only in Nocth Carolina but throughout America." i . He then pictured in vivid words his life as an infidel when he had lost hope in God and man, and his transforma tion into a man of Christian character Whose chief aim is to serve the Saviour of mankind. Even when he had gotten down into the depths of sin, he said, the love for humanity still remained with him, and it was that that brought him to Christ. . . After his conversion in a prison in Jacksonville, Fla., where he was placed for safe keeping on account of his phys ical condition, he said that he went to Washington, D. C, where he served for a time as the Janitor of a Presbyterian hureh. It was while serving in this capacity that he decided that he would enter upon the work of prison reform, because he felt that it was so much needed. - He gave many instances of prisoners who have been "converted by his'preach- ihg and have since that time lived con-J csioteiiL v-nnstian lives. une oi ineae he named was a poor man who had been sent to the New Hanover county farmr for - drunkenness. He became a Christian ab6ut a- year ago, he said,, and since that time has done all in his power to make the world better and to bring men under the influence of Tthe Christian religion. It was such Instan ces as these, said the speaker, that made his work worth while and brought a joy and - a satisfaction that no. mo ney could do. " ' He urged his hearers that they would not- waste their lives, but that they would devote them to uplifting human ity In whatever station they might be placed. There is no class that needs help more than the prisoners, he declared,-and he hoped that each one pres ent would do - everything possible to help their condition. Rev- J. S. Crowley, pastor of the church, announced that the Sunday school will hereafter meet on Sunday afternoons at 3:30 o'clock instead of ;-10uA.-M., as during the summer. He also stated that, beginning next Sun day, the service at night will begin at 7:30 o'crock instead of 8 o'clock. Practically all the pastors - of -Wilmington; who left the city to sperid their vacations, have returned and aire now busy planning with officers of their churches "campaigns for the fail and winter.! Owing o the fact that many persons have been out of the city for the' iast few weeks on their annual : vacations most of the Churches have not been pushing their work but with the return of the members - ac tivity is being resumed with renewed Vigor. - - 'j;''' -::- ' -v- The Wilmington Ministerial Associa tion, V which during the summer only held its meetings once a month, will, beginning next Monday morning, have meetings weekly. There are a num ber of matters that have been laid Over during the summer that will re ceive attention at this meeting. One of the matters to which the as sociation expects to devote considera ble xattentton is . that of giving greater publicity to the work of the church. The ministers feel that thefy should reach more people than they are doing andvto this end believe that the most effective way Is through the public press. . , . Next ' Sunday prayers in practically all the churches of the city will be said for a speedy termination of the European war. This is the day, desig nated by President Wilson in a recent proclamation. Special programmes will be rendered including sermons oh peace. . - Several of the churches of the city during the summer have had extensive repairs made, among these being St. Andrew's Presbyterian, the First Pres-" byterian and St. Paul's Lutheran. The main auditorium of 5t. Andrew's has been overhauled and re-painted, im proving the appearance to a marked degree. The repairs at the First Pres byterian church are still in, progress but will be completed in a' few days. The entire interior has been re-painted and re-papered. The exterior of th church is now being painted. The' windows have been thoroughly ifleaned also. " 1 . The improvements at St. Paul's Luth eran church Include the addition of a Sunday school room erected at a cost of several thousand dollars. With the added room there will be ample facil ities to take care of the growing Sun day school without crowding. .The. ad dition is built , according to the most modern ideas for the construction of such buildings. Several of the other churches of the city have made improvements of a ma terial nature that will facilitate their work for the winter months. SUFFICIENT TIME NOT GIVEN. WILL BUY COTTON FROM TOBACCO DEALERS. American Tobacco Company's "Buy-a-Bale" Offer to Customers. As already announced in The Star the American Tobacco Company is to lend its support to making' the "buy-a bale of cotton" idea a success. The plan evolved by the Tobacco Company will, il Is believed, greatly help the cotton situation in the South while at the same time stimulating trade through the Southern states and thus establish confidence in the South's con tinued prosperity. In a letter sent to its customers, Perclval S. Hill, president of the Amer ican Tobacco Company, says that from its customers in the Southern states, it will purchase at ten cents a pound to equal the aggregate, number of pounds of certain popular brands of plug and leaf tobacco and of cigar ettes shipped to these customers from September 29 to November 30. This letter was sent to dealers In Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, .Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, "Oklahoma, 1 South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas, so that the beneflciaj effects of this plan will be far .reaching; Mr. Hill gave . out the following statement:, "It is our plan to render uniform help to our customers! in all cotton-growing sections. The brands On which we make this cotton-buying offer have such a arge sale throughout these sections, that we estimate 10,000 bales of cotton can be - bought by our company under this plan. By offering to buy ; cotton - from its Southern , cus tomers the company feels it is render ing - a service to the territory which deals largely with it,, and is also mak ing a sound financial investment," AN UNFORTUNATE ERROR. .to. W. B. McClellan Merely Slapped an Insolent Colored Employe,- ; The Star very much regrets a griev es error which occurred ' yesterday jyorning in the routine report of po " proceedings for the day in which W. B. McClellan was stated to Jjfv paid the costs for an assault on J"s wife. The facts are that Mr. Mc 'ellan only slapped over an insolent jWored employe and he went into court pa paid the price as any 'self -respect-n5 white man would have done. Every- j?e in Wilmington, who knows Mr. cciellan,. or elsewhere for that' mat-ru- knew that the statement was a Jicuious error when they saw it. but fte star hastens to make Its . most rfound apology for-the transgres I0a, and it is . glad that Mr. McClellan ccepts the same In the Spirit in which U JB made. . . - -. " v . . , MANY ATTEND SERVICES. Tent Meetings at Third 1 and Castle . Streets Will be Continued. No other evangelistic campaign for a long time has attracted . the interest and the crowds which are gathering nightly in thejeanvas pavilion at Third, and Castle streets to near tne preach ing of Evangelist Carlyle B. Haynes. the Seventh Day Adventist ; minister writer and lecturer. The seating qa-J pacity of the tent has become altogeth er inadequate to seat the large crowds which assemble every night from all parts of the , city. .

Corporation Commission Will Not En force Rule Regarding. Freight. That the recently adopted rule by the railroads for the standard bill of lading requiring claims tor lost mer chandise, shipped by freight, to be fil ed within four months after failure to receive them is not approved by the State Corporation Commission, because sufficient : publicity - was , not given by the railroads as to, their intention to enforce this rule and because four months does not appear to be a suffi cient time is the substance' of a letter received her by Paul D. Satchwell, Esq., from the rate clerk of the Com mission. V -The letter has reference to a suit brought by Mr. Satchwell for R. Q. Brown; of J4t. Olive, - against the At lantic Coast Line for. refusal to pay for lost merchandise on account of claim therefor not, being filed within four months. - Justice TCarrlss gave judgment in favor of the plaintiff and the defendant Company appealed. Sub sequently Mr. Satchwell took the mat ter up with the North Carolina Corpo ration Commission for a ruling on the standard bill of lading containing-, this restrictive clause and he has received from Mr. Womble rate clerk for the Commission, the following letter: 1 "Referring to yours of recent date regarding provisions of Paragraph 3, Section 8, of the standard bill of lading requiring the filing of claims for loss, damage or delay within four months. ;"I am, directed bythe Commission to say that It does not appear that suffi cient ' publicity of the Intention of 'the railroads to enforce this rule was giv en, nor. -does it-appear reasonable that the time ; Inoluded in the limit should begin to run'on olalms for lost freight where a representative of Xhe trans portation company has been - tracing the goods until a report on the tracer has been made. For these reasons the rule la not approved by the Commia sioiwand while it is our desire to see uniforrq. rules -for both Intrastate and Interstate traffic as far as consistent, unless the rule is so amended as to carry the above construction, . we will feel impelled to Issue an order in the matter which 'would conform to ! the views expressed above."
